14-September-2008 10:43:23 - apheresis In medicine, LDL apheresis is a form of apheresis, resembling dialysis, to eliminate the cholesterol-containing particle low-density lipoprotein LDL from the bloodstream. Contents 1 Uses 2 Principles 3 References 4 External links Uses It is used in diseases featuring high LDL, such as the rare homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia, when the heterozygous form does not respond to medical treatment, or when the treatment has led to dangerous side-effects such as rhabdomyolysis. The procedure takes 2-4 hours and must be repeated every several weeks to keep the LDL levels from accumulation and causing cardiovascular disease. It is an expensive procedure, limiting its use to severe cases of hyperlipidemia. Principles LDL apheresis works by leading venous blood through a collumn coated with antibodies to apolipoprotein B the main protein of LDL particles, dextran sulfate or polyacrylate, or by precipitating LDL with heparin at low pH. In all cases apart from polyacrylate absorption, plasma is separated from cells by a cell separator. References Thompson GR. LDL Apheresis. Atherosclerosis 2003;167:1-13. PMID 12618263.
